PEEK-OPTIMATM polymers
PEEK Biomaterials for 3D Printed Spinal Implants
With over twenty years of clinical history, PEEK-OPTIMATM Natural polymer is the first medical-grade PEEK used in spinal fusion surgeries. PEEK is the most widely used biomaterial for interbody fusion, accounting for 50% of all devices1. Today, Invibio is pioneering the development of advanced polymer solutions to deliver biomaterials for the next generation of 3d printed porous structures.

3D Printing of PEEK Implants
Steve Kurz, Drexel University and Exponent Inc. looks at the state of 3D printing of medical PEEK implants.
Fact sheet
Modulus similar to bone
With a bone-like modulus, PEEK-OPTIMA polymers help minimize stress shielding and stimulate bone healing.
FAST FACT
Artifact-free imaging
PEEK-OPTIMA polymers provide artifact-free imaging and unobstructed views when using X-ray, CT and MRI imaging techniques.
Bringing a device to market?
Invibio is here to help you every step of the way through the design, regulatory, manufacturing and commercialization process providing unmatched opportunities to bring next generation spine medical devices to market quickly.
Future-proofing with 3D printed implants
3D printed porous PEEK structures
Improved technologies for 3D printing of PEEK-OPTIMATM based polymers can open up a range of possibilities for medical device design engineers. Invibio is working exclusively with Bond3D to offer technology to additive manufacture biocompatible, PEEK functional parts with isotropic tensile strength.
